Why doesn't this stand have a neck brace as attachment for guitars and is it essential to have a neck brace?

Using this stand for a full size bass works well without the neckbrace. The only problem if it really isca problem is that the grip tracks on the feet are less positive at gripping than would be optimal and especially close in to the post where needed most. If a guitar was top heavy then this flaw would be more severe. That is were the neckbrase would be helpful in estimation. Of course the feet need to be a stable support to balance the force placed on the neckbrace.

A strap is included with the set. This particular strap style is to be tied on to the end pin and upper neck (in the hole where the tuning pins are). This is a common method of strap attachment but myself, I'd visit a local guitar store and buy a buck end-pin and a pin-oriented strap. Screw the end pin in the top of the body near the neck. It would be worth the purchase price. No need to spend a ton for a strap, but they range all the way from a few dollars to expensive. Buyers have a wide choice in strap options.

I'm sure you can use it for an electric guitar. The braces on the bottom are wide for an acoustics.It hasn't ruined my guitar. If you have a really high end guitar I would spend some more money on a stand.

The wrench is used to adjust the height of the strings/ angle of neck. Probably adjustment is not needed unless strings rattle. Any adjustments should be very small and done in small increments. Look online for video help if needed.

I don't know, but it is "neck heavy", you'll probably need to attach the guitar strap above the "peghead" to help counter balance it, or attach a small pouch of weights to the bridge "end pin" to help counter-balance the weight of the neck. I've seen that done a few times on Pete Seeger model long neck banjos

I guess every acoustic guitar should have it. Rogue RA-090 too has one. Read this, http://www.ehow.com/how_8782747_adjust-rogue-guitar-truss-rod.html

It works pretty well. I also have a K&M; acoustic performer stand and that is a more solid and permanent solution if you are thinking about giging frequently. However the M-brace does an excellent job. I don't trust it completely because of its construction but I have used mine on rehearsals for over an year with no problem. Regarding the mike stand: when I first set it up I was impressed on how stable it actually is. I would just make sure that you mike stand has good base. Other than that you are good to go.

I hand my mandolin on the end. It is okay with the guitar on the other end. My friend has the triple one, and he hangs small and large instruments. The weight and size of the large ones seems not to affect its stability. Even when my heavy 12-string guitar was hanging alone, it stayed stable. This is the best stand of the three I've used since July!

Yes. I use two Strats and it is very stable with the two. If I take one, two or all three of my guitars to a gig, the stand works equally well. It's a good value.

There is a strap button at the base of the guitar but no 2nd one, so you would need another strap button on the lower neck area of the guitar. Based on what I see, that should not be too difficult to do, but most of them do require to use a screw for attaching. You can purchase strap buttons from many vendors.

I would suggest getting a similar looking guitar rest with all solid tubing that has an adjustable neck (most do) - and use that. The 'portability' of this model is far outweighed, in my opinion, by the sheer inferior quality. This item, as I noted in my review, is not well made and a Fender will be too heavy for it because the stand will topple over if the guitar is brushed.

No, Miss. There is one in the back. You would have to get one of those straps that you tie around the head of the guitar):

The set up from the factory was perfect for the OU5 that I got. Another Uke that I bought needed the fret ends polished . The neck on a ukulele isn't under the same stress as a guitar neck. Fewer strings with a lot less tension on a much shorter neck mean truss rod adjustments and bridge alterations aren't normally required. Most ukes don't even have truss rods so the saddle height is factory set for most players.

Not sure of your positioning. I don't position like a guitar with the neck straight to the side. I sit the banjo between my legs, or on one of my legs, and play it with the neck angled up pretty high, which balances it better. I've noticed banjo players doing this, even with a strap - most angle the banjo up pretty high. If you google search "how to hold a banjo" you'll see lots of banjo players holding it this way because it balances the instrument.

It has a "European" thread which is smaller than the standard US mike stand. You need a small adapter. Take it to a music store and they will find one for you.

Yes I bought 3 of them because I have 3 guitars at home. Two for adults and one little for learning and the stand is adjustable for any size. Congratulations and enjoy it!

Yes, it stabilizes the neck area very sturdily. We are atill using ours after three years.
